Windows 7 - Can't pin any Folder to Windows Explorer in taskbar

For a while i had this problem with windows 7. I dragged a folder i wanted to pin in windows explorer in taskbar but it did not show anything.This is the solution that worked for me.

One of your Delete or Clear Jumplist Recent Items in Windows 7 is corrupted in AutomaticDestinations-hidden system folder
go to
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations

Delete the largest file or just delete them all.

The solution comes from a comment on this forum post : http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/01/17/fix-unable-to-pin-app-to-taskbar-and-start-menu-missing-context-menu-and-jump-lists-error-in-windows-7/

Hope this helps!
